Mars Dune Image Galleries: CRISM, THEMIS, MOC and HiRISE

CRISM

Dune images are available from the CRISM Image Gallery.

Sources/Usage: Public Domain. View Media Details

THEMIS

The Mars Odyssey Mission THEMIS website has several image galleries. You can find an updated dune image in the "Image of the Day", and the full listing in the "Map of All Images". You can also read THEMIS feature articles and research based on the images in "THEMIS Features".

MOC

Though not necessarily as current as the other image galleries, images of dunes are available from the MGS MOC Captioned Image Releases webpage.

HiRISE

Because HiRISE is still in its infancy, the image gallery isn't divided into as many topics as it certainly will be in the future. However you can view all image topics at the MRO gallery.

The Mars Global Digital Dune Database

The Mars Global Digital Dune Database (MGD 3 ) The Mars Global Digital Dune Database (MGD3)was compiled and released in three parts, encompassing the area from latitude 65°N to 65°S, from 60°N to 90°N (the north polar region), and from 60° to 90°S (south polar region). All the remote sensing data for both GIS and non-GIS users is available online in three U.S. Geological Survey Open File Reports...

Workshops

Researchers in the planetary and terrestrial aeolian community are at work all over the world; the last workshop alone had representatives from eight countries and three continents! This research is conducted locally on Earth analogs and on such far-flung places as Titan, but the common goal is to understand geological processes on the rocky planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and satellites of our...

Mars Dunes

Sand dunes are among the most widespread aeolian features present on Mars, serving as unique indicators of the interaction between the atmosphere and surface. On a planetary body, dunes accumulate where a supply of sand-sized grains exists or may be abraded, is carried downwind by winds of saltation strength, and is subsequently deposited where these winds weaken below the threshold for sand...
